 * You messed up the wp-config.php file.
 * Maybe an extra/missing double-quote.
 * Past your wp-config.php file here so we can see (without the password/sensitive
   info).

 * or you can download a copy of wordpress and uploaded the new wp-config.php after
   filling in the database information. also edit your wp-config.php in Notepad 
   and don’t put anything that is not required.
